Alex announced his return to medicine via his social media channels last week, writing: 'Love Island was the experience of a lifetime, but ever since I left the villa I've genuinely missed working for the NHS.

'That's why this week, I'm going back to A&E. I trained for years for the opportunity to help people, and I can't wait to get back to doing what I love.'

On Instagram, he informed his 1.3million followers: 'I'll be using my platform to raise awareness around health issues among young people.

'Hopefully I'll be able to give you a bit of insight into what it's like on the front lines of the NHS. I hope you all continue this incredible journey with me. Here we go!'

'Good to be home': It comes four days after he returned to his job in A&E, posting a sweet selfie with his NHS co-workers on his first day back in hospital on Monday morning

During an appearance on This Morning back in August, Dr. Alex said: 'I absolutely love my job and whilst I was away I started missing it in a lot of ways, and every now and again we’d talk about medicine in the villa and I’d love all that.

'I definitely want to go back to A&E once the time is right.'

Upon hearing that each contestant could earn in the region of £5,000 per Instagram post which could equate to £750,000 a year, the Welsh medic admitted he would be passionate about bringing his expertise to the small screen and isn't interested in the reality star life.
